DOes anybody did ever rear Antheraea assamensis? And if, what foodplant used?

Kind regards,

I've never personally reared them, but books tell me that Quercus, Magnolia, Fagus, and Persea work. I'd try Quercus ssp. first.

Hi Ryan,

I got that List also from Bill Oehlke's site, but querqus is not accepted, and pyrus malus doesn't exict! Its pyrus, or malus, but both not accepted. Also the European Magnolia not. Other treee's mentioned are not for sale here.

Kind regards,

Marc

Have you tried Privet? And it's odd that they refused Quercus.. my friend reared some long ago on Q. Pauliskas (Pin Oak) and they did fine...
